The Global Methane Pledge: How VAM Mitigation Fits into International Climate Goals


Learn about Direct Fired Chiller | See VAM Product Page | CCHP Systems | Pump Solutions

Methane, though less abundant than carbon dioxide, is a far more potent greenhouse gas, trapping significantly more heat in our atmosphere over a shorter period.Recognizing this urgent threat, over 150 countries have joined the Global Methane Pledge(GMP).One significant source of anthropogenic methane emissions, particularly in countries with active mining operations, is Ventilation Air Methane(VAM).

  • Direct Emission Reduction
    VAM mitigation contributes is by directly reducing methane emissions into the atmosphere.
  • Rapid Climate Impact
    VAM mitigation now can lead to a more immediate cooling effect, buying critical time for the transition to a low - carbon economy.
  • Technological Innovation and Deployment
    Cost - effective VAM abatement technologies are making them accessible to a wider range of mining operations globally.

For sectors like coal mining, this translates into a renewed focus on understanding and mitigating VAM emissions.As countries work towards their 2030 targets, we can expect to see increased investment in research and development, policy incentives for VAM abatement, and broader adoption of existing and emerging technologies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Vapour Absorption Chiller?
It's a thermally-driven cooling system that uses water/LiBr solution and heat (from steam, hot water, exhaust, or gas) instead of electricity to produce chilled water, drastically reducing energy costs.
Can BROAD chillers run on waste heat?
Yes, our absorption chillers can capture waste heat from industrial processes, generator exhaust, or boiler steam to provide free cooling, resulting in significant OPEX savings.
Do you provide after-sales service in India?
Absolutely. BROAD India provides comprehensive design consultation, commissioning, operator training, and 24/7 after-sales support with remote monitoring capabilities.

Need Help With Your Cooling System?

BROAD India's engineering team can assess your facility's cooling requirements and recommend the most energy-efficient solution - from vapour absorption chillers to waste heat recovery systems.
